Play as Candyman & eviscerate anyone that dares to say your name 5 times in front of a mirror.
Originally made as a free PC game demo in 2006. Recently demade in 20223 as a full game for the NES.
Not perfect by any means. Can't wait to see people improve on it.

DrD2k9: Claiming for judging.
DrD2k9: While submitting runs of your games to TASVideos is an interesting (and potentially worthwhile) way to build awareness of said games, we strive to only publish movies that demonstrate a high level of optimization for a given goal.
Unfortunately, this submission is sub-optimal and can be easily improved. In the first stage (tutorial) alone, the following are possible:
  • The first dialogue box can be cleared 7 frames earlier than where it's performed
  • The first kill can be performed 3 frames earlier than where it's performed
  • The 2nd dialogue box can be cleared 13 frames earlier than where it's performed
  • The 3rd dialogue box can be cleared 6 frames earlier than where it's performed
Implementing all these components leads to an actual 33 frame improvement upon entering the portal. (I didn't take the time to determine where the extra 4 frames came from.)
Further, it is not necessary to kill everyone. A stage can be exited once the portal is available. This would save further time. Example: Stage 2 woman in the shower.
Rejecting for optimization.
